Easter Hair and Makeup

With Easter just around the corner, now is the time to plan your holiday hair and makeup. Easter is a great opener to spring and it's array of makeup and hair looks. Soft and youthful hair and makeup are perfect for whatever you do this Easter, whether it's the morning church service, or dinner with the family.

Spring hair is not only a blast to style, but can be easy and effortless as well. Soft, feminine curls are an adorable look for spring. Aim for touchable, natural looking waves and ringlets.

This style can be achieved with the use of a 1" or larger curling wand, hot rollers, or even your handy dandy straightener, with the right curling technique of course.

You'll want to curl all of your hair first, while staying away from the hairspray. Remember, you want soft curls that you can run your fingers through. After all the hair is curled, use a wide tooth comb or your fingers to separate the curls. This creates a natural, wavy look that's as soft as an Easter lamb's coat.

When you have your curls loosened to a nice wave, you can lightly spritz the hair with hairspray to lock in that gorgeous texture. If the curls are a bit frizzy, spray the hair with a light layer of heat protection or shine spray and smooth out the frizz with a paddle brush. When using a paddle brush on curls, brush the curls around your wrist to lock in a glossy, frizz-free style.

Now for my favorite part the Easter look, the makeup. With very step of the application process, use light strokes. You definitely want to avoid weighing the face down with a lot of makeup. Spring is all about fresh and innocent beauty, so use minimal makeup and play up your best features.

For flawless spring baby skin, apply face powder with a kabuki brush. This will keep you from over applying powder while giving your skin an airbrushed look.

You can also skip the powder completely and blur imperfections with a BB cream. BB cream is a great product to use in the spring because it makes the wearer appear to have no makeup on, and it usually provides a little protection from the sun as well.

Blush is the key part of spring makeup. You'll really want to highlight your cheeks with a hint of blush in soft, feminine shades of peach and pink. For a fun, young look, really focus on the apples of your cheeks when applying your blush.

Everything else should be kept to a minimum. Use neutral tones of eye shadow  minimize eyeliner, and apply just a few swipes of mascara. Applying a highlighting powder or light eye shadow to the inner corners of your eyes will give you a pretty doe eyed appearance that's spot on for spring.

The lips should be kept light as well. Pinks, peaches, and nudes are the ideal lip color for this makeup look. To maintain the fresh, airy feel of the rest of our makeup, I suggest using a matte lip gloss or a velvety lip stain for a petal soft pout this Easter.

As long as you keep everything light and fresh, you will be sure to turn heads with all the natural beauty you have to offer this spring!
